向中国游戏提交UGC
只有在您已接受中国发行商条款时,本第5条方才适用。如果您未接受中国发行商条款,无法向中国发行商提交UGC。STUDIO软件包含允许您向中国发行商提交UGC稿件的设施(“提交设施”),使该UGC稿件有可能被纳入中国游戏。中国发行商授予您出于上述目的使用提交设施的权利。如果您使用提交设施,即视为您会按照第5.1条所述规定(如果任何其他条款包含任何相违条文,皆以本条规定为准)向中国发行商提交相关UGC稿件:
您作为记录提交者,以自身名义向中国游戏直接提交您的UGC稿件。本公司仅出于便利考虑提供提交设施,本公司提供提交设施或本条款任何其他内容均不会令本公司成为您的UGC稿件的记录提交者。
所有有关向中国游戏提交UGC稿件的事宜,需符合中国发行商和本公司的审核过程、UGC要求和文档所述政策,以及(在受以下第5.2条制约的前提下)中国发行商就中国游戏订立的标准用户条款。

((a)及(b)统称为“UGC要求”)。
UGC审核。本公司可全权酌情决定审核、筛选并修改UGC,使之适合在任何平台上发行。本公司拥有对该等事宜的最终决定权。
无义务发布UGC稿件。为免生疑问,您提交UGC稿件并不构成本公司或任何发行商采纳UGC稿件并在任何平台上发行的义务。
无义务发布公共内容。为免生疑问,您选择提供任何公共内容并不构成本公司或任何发行商通过STUDIO软件或其他方式向其他开发者提供该公共内容的义务。
再次筛选UGC稿件及公共内容。如果适用法律、法规、UGC要求、规则和政策发生任何变更,或出于任何其他原因:
本公司及各发行商可全权酌情决定(i)修改或筛选已于任何平台上发行的UGC稿件;和/或(ii)随时全部或部分暂停或终止在任何平台上发布和发行任何UGC稿件;
本公司可全权酌情决定(i)修改或筛选公共内容;和/或(ii)随时全部或部分暂停或终止发行任何公共内容;以及

下架通知。各发行商和/或本公司在代表任何发行商时,均可出于以下任何原因暂停或终止发行您的UGC稿件:包括但不限于收到任何索赔、报告或指控,指出该等UGC稿件侵犯或未经授权使用任何第三方知识产权。本公司可出于以下任何原因暂停或终止发行您的公共内容:包括但不限于收到任何索赔、报告或指控,指出该等公共内容侵犯或未经授权使用任何第三方知识产权。
第三方UGC权利。如果您有意提供任何UGC,但并非该等UGC所有组成部分的拥有者,或未获全面授权而可就该等UGC的所有组成部分授予权利,则不得提供该等UGC。此外,如果您仅拥有某段录音的相关权利,而非该等录音中所蕴含、体现的音乐作品的相关权利,除非您拥有所有可根据本条款向本公司授予该等音乐作品的许可所需的权利、授权及许可,否则不得提供该等录音。您同意支付所有因提供您的UGC而亏欠任何人士的款项。
音乐UGC。如果您身为音乐作品的作曲者或作者,且隶属于某表演 权管理组织(如中国音乐著作权协会),则您必须通知您所在的表演权管理组织有关您根据本条款向本公司授予许可的事项。您全权负责确保遵守与表演权管理组织签署的相关协议以及任何适用的成员政策。如果您已将您的权利转让给某音乐发行商,则您必须获得该音乐发行商同意,方可授予本条款规定的许可,或促使该音乐发行商向本公司授予该等许可。如果您已与唱片公司签约为唱片艺人,则您全权负责确保在使用STUDIO软件的同时履行对唱片公司的任何合同义务,包括当您通过STUDIO软件创作任何新录音时,您的唱片公司可能会提出权利要求的情况。
无权移除或修改UGC。如果您提供UGC,您将无权移除或修改该等UGC(但本公司为您提供工具,允许您移除或修改该等特定类型UGC,或适用法律另有规定的情况除外)。
群组
群组。开发者可在中国游戏内建立群组。每个群组包括所有者(“群主”)及经其接受加入申请而成为群组成员的其他用户(“群组成员”)。群主可选择向一些群组成员授予开发者特权。“群组开发成员”系指(a)经群主授予开发者特权且(b)已同意本公司本条款的群组成员。
群组UGC。“群组UGC”系指由群组或由群主或群组开发成员代表群组提供的UGC。为免生疑问,群组UGC可以是由群组或由群主或群组开发成员代表群组提交的UGC稿件(“群组UGC稿件”),或由群组或由群主或群组开发成员代表群组提供的公共内容。
如果您身为群组开发成员,则应为您投递到群组UGC的任何内容(“您的群组投稿”)负责。就本条款(第10条除外)而言,您的群组投稿将视为您的UGC。
如果您身为群主,则就本条款第8条、第10条、第11条、第14条、第15条和第16条(视情况而定)而言,群组UGC将视为您的UGC,因此除了为您的群组投稿负责外,您还应为群组UGC负责。
为免生疑问,群主或群组开发成员根据本条款应负有的任何法律责任不会受到下列事项影响:(i)群主或群组开发成员离开群组(或失去在群组中的开发者特权);(ii)更换群主;或(iii)群组终止或暂停。
群组收益
本公司应按照第10条规定向发起变现时身为群主的开发者支付群组UGC稿件所带来的开发者交换收益(“群组收益”)。如果某群组因任何原因而终止或暂停,则所赚取的任何群组收益将清零并视为被没收,且本公司并无法律责任与任何人士(包括但不限于任何前群组成员)分享收益。
您确认并同意,第9.3(a)条和第10.9条列明本公司仅承担就任何群组UGC稿件分享收益或支付使用费、许可费或任何其他报酬的法律责任。您确认并同意,本公司并无其他或进一步就您的群组投稿与您分享任何收益的法律责任,且您放弃就此对本公司提出任何权利要求 的权利。
群主及群组成员可另行订立协议,说明群主应如何分配获得的任何群组收益款项。您确认并同意,任何此类安排将构成在群组成员之间订立的私下协议,而本公司因并非协议一方,故无须就此负法律责任。
开发者交换收益
本公司现拟容许开发者未来在平台和STUDIO软件(视情况而定)推出开发者交换功能时,将开发者交换收益变现。该等功能的推出日期将于门户网站公布。同时,在本公司宣布推出开发者交换功能之日(“开发者交换收益推出日期”)前,如果您提供任何UGC稿件[在全球平台上发行],可以累计开发者交换收益。第10条规定仅自开发者交换收益推出日期起生效。
开发者交换收益计算。若有用户在任何平台上购买您的UGC稿件,则您可赚取本公司的部分收益(“开发者交换收益”)。开发者交换收益将按照开发者交换政策计算。
不合格交易。您无法通过下列交易赚取开发者交换收益:(a)欺诈交易;(b)相关发行商和/或用户撤销的交易;或(c)违反开发者交换政策,或根据开发者交换政策不应赚取开发者交换收益的交易。本公司对于是否存在此类情况的决定为最终决定且具有约束力。
开发者交换收益调整。由本公司决定通过门户网站或其他方式显示的您所赚取的开发者交换收益金额仅代表估算余额,本公司仍可对此进行审核、调整和确认。
变现。您可以利用门户网站的相关功能,申请获取所赚取的开发者交换收益(“变现”),但前提是您必须符合开发者交换政策所述的条件(“变现条件”)。
变现发起和审核。本公司在收到变现申请后审核您所赚取的开发者交换收益金额,并全权酌情决定确认(经调整或其他处理后)应向您支付的金额。在本公司收到有效变现申请并进行确认之前,任何开发者交换收益均不属于亏欠或应付款项。只有在符合变现条件的情况下,本公司才会安排支付经过确认的开发者交换收益。本公司可通过第三方服务供应商安排支付开发者交换收益。您可能需要与本公司的第三方服务供应商订立协议,才能获取开发者交换收益。您同意如果您未订立该等协议,可能无法获取任何开发者交换收益,并视为已放弃您就该等开发者交换收益享有的任何权利。
其他所需资料。您同意向本公司提供本公司所需的任何其他资料,以便本公司推进和管理开发者交换收益支付事宜。应按照隐私政策存储该等信息。
付款。本公司将按照开发者交换政策,安排支付经过确认的开发者交换收益。
停用或弃用账户
如果开发者的任何账户的开发者交换收益为非零值,并且开发者在12个月或更长时间内并未要求变现,则本公司可(全权酌情决定)将该账户视为“弃用账户”。
如果您的账户因任何原因而被停用,或视为弃用账户,则本公司有权将您所赚取的开发者交换收益累计余额清零,届时开发者交换收益即视为已被放弃。
本公司可全权酌情决定重启弃用账户或停用账户,但是该等账户不得赚取或以其他方式累计任何开发者交换收益。换言之,从您的账户变成停用或弃用账户之日到经本公司重启之日,如果在此期间任何交易涉及您的UGC稿件而原应累计开发者交换收益,则该等开发者交换收益将被没收。
群组收益。如果您身为群主,则可以按照第9.3条规定将群组收益变现。第10.9条适用于任何群组收益的变现事宜,只是“您的UGC”一词将视为“群组UGC”,“您的UGC稿件”一词将视为“群组UGC稿件”,且“开发者交换收益”或“您所赚取的开发者交换收益”一词将视为“群组收益”。
超额付款。如果本公司在任何时间认为您曾获超额付款,则本公司有权在任何未来的开发者交换收益余额和/或付款中抵消该等超额付款金额。
唯一报酬。第10条列明您根据第12.3条就您的UGC稿件授予许可时可获得的唯一报酬。您确认并同意,对于经根据本条款授权使用您的UGC稿件,您不得对本公司、发行商、用户或任何其他实体索取其他共享收益或其他报酬。
税费
预扣税。您同意本公司可依照适用于本公司的法律履行任何预扣税义务,在变现时预扣任何开发者交换收益款项。您必须向本公司提供文档中规定的或本公司另行要求的所有信息或文件,以便本公司预扣该等款项。
增值税报税。您可能需要为变现履行增值税义务。您承诺会出于纳税目的(包括但不限于增值税)及时就任何变现进行所有相关申报,而且您必须针对该等申报向本公司提供文档中规定的或本公司不时另行要求的所有信息。
知识产权

如果您的公共内容基于或衍生于由其他开发者或全球用户提供的公共内容(“基础公共内容”),您对您的公共内容中的知识产权拥有的权利、所有权和权益不得损害任何其他开发者或全球用户对基础公共内容拥有的知识产权。同理,如果其他开发者或全球用户的任何经修改公共内容基于或衍生于您的公共内容,则该经修改公共内容中的知识产权应受您对您的公共内容中的知识产权制约。
UGC许可。您特此向本公司授予并同意向本公司授予永久的、不可撤销的、全球性的、非独占的、可转让的许可,允许本公司针对(全部或部分)您的UGC稿件和公共内容通过多级分许可的方式向任何人或实体(包括但不限于发行商)进行转授权,从而开展以下活动:
出于任何目的,包括(但不限于)宣传和市场推广目的,分销、托管、存储、转让、公开展示、公开表演(包括通过数码音频传输和直达受众的方式)、复制(包括以定时同步视觉图像的方式),以及通过任何(有形或无形的)介质或形式及任何(线上、线下或其他已知或后续开发的)平台、媒介、项目或渠道以任何方式使用您的UGC稿件或公共内容(视情况而定)(但一种情况除外,即您并未授予本公司或任何发行商使用您的UGC稿件制作全新或衍生视频游戏的许可);
无论是出于商业、非商业还是教育目的,使用您的UGC稿件或公共内容(视情况而定)以及相关用户名,通过电视、电影、书籍、年刊、百科全书或选集、网站、社交媒体、在线或印刷杂志或报纸来宣传或推广平台、任何UGC以及与平台相关的有形项目;以及

如果您选择将您的UGC作为公共内容公开,即视为您同意该等内容将作为资料库内容公开,因此其他开发者和全球用户可以:(i)对全部或部分您的公共内容进行修改、制作衍生作品以及以其他方式做出改动,和/或将之纳入自己的UGC(“经修改公共内容”);(ii)根据第7.1条以自己的用户名将该等经修改公共内容作为公共内容公开;以及(iii)以自己的用户名将该等经修改公共内容作为UGC稿件提交发行。您进一步同意:(1)在不影响您对基础公共内容所有权的情况下(见第12.2(b)条),本公司及其被分许可人(包括但不限于发行商)应有权将经修改公共内容视为由相关开发者或全球用户提交的UGC,并行使第12.3条所述与之相关的权利和权力;(2)针对基于或衍生于您的公共内容的经修改公共内容或根据本条款对之进行的利用,您无权获得任何补偿;(3)在法律允许的最大范围内,您特此弃权并承诺,您不会主张获得您对您的公共内容可能享有的任何精神权利(包括但不限于中国《著作权法》第十条第(一)款至第十条第(四)款)(含)项下的权利)。
直达受众的权利。您在本条款中授予的所有权利是按“直达受众”的方式提供的,这意味着发行商和第三方服务的所有者或经营者无须另行对于通过任何平台在该等第三方服务上提供或使用的UGC向您或任何第三方承担任何责任。

Review of UGC. Company may review, filter and modify UGC as it sees fit with respect to publication on any Platform in its sole discretion. Company’s determination in this respect shall be final.
No obligation to distribute Submission UGC. For the avoidance of doubt, Your submission of Submission UGC does not create any obligation on Company or any Publisher to include Your Submission UGC for publication on any Platform.
No obligation to distribute Public Content. For the avoidance of doubt, Your election to Provide any Public Content does not create any obligation on Company or any Publisher to make such Public Content available to other Developers on the STUDIO Software or otherwise.

Company and each Publisher shall have the absolute discretion to (i) modify or filter published Submission UGC on any Platform; and/or (ii) suspend or terminate the distribution and publication of any Submission UGC on any Platform, in whole or in part, at any time;

In addition, if You only own the rights in and to a sound recording, but not to the underlying musical works embodied in such sound recordings, then You must not Provide such sound recordings unless You have all necessary rights, authorizations and permissions with respect to such embedded musical works that grant You sufficient rights to grant the licenses to Company under these Terms. You agree to pay all monies owing to any person as a result of Providing Your UGC.
Musical UGC. If You are a composer or author of a musical work and are affiliated with a performing rights organization (such as the Music Copyright Society of China), then You must notify Your performing rights organization of the license You grant through these Terms to Company. You are solely responsible for ensuring Your compliance with the relevant agreements with the performing rights organization’s and any applicable member policies. If You have assigned Your rights to a music publisher, then You must obtain the consent of such music publisher to grant the license set forth in these Terms or procure such music publisher to grant Company such license. If You are a recording artist under contract with a record label, then You are solely responsible for ensuring that Your use of the STUDIO Software is in compliance with any contractual obligations You may have to Your record label, including if You create any new recordings through the STUDIO Software that may be claimed by Your label.
No right to remove or modify UGC. If You Provide UGC, You do not have the right to remove or modify that UGC (unless Company provides tools for You to remove or modify that specific type of UGC, or unless otherwise required by applicable law).

If You are a Group Dev Member, You shall be responsible for any Content that You contribute to Group UGC (“Your Group Contributions”). Your Group Contributions shall be treated as Your UGC for the purposes of these Terms except for Section 10.
If You are the Group Owner, then in addition to your responsibility for Your Group Contributions, You shall be responsible for the Group UGC as a whole as if it were Your UGC for the purposes of Sections 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16 of these Terms (as applicable).

Group Revenue.
Company shall pay DevEx Revenue arising in respect of Group Submission UGC (“Group Revenue”) to the Developer who is the Group Owner at the time that Cash Out is initiated in accordance with Section 10.

A Group Owner and the Group Members may separately agree upon how the Group Owner may allocate amongst themselves any Group Revenue paid to the Group Owner. You acknowledge and agree that any such arrangements constitute a private agreement between Group Members to which Company is not party and under which Company has no liability.
DevEx Revenue
Company currently intends to allow Developers to cash out DevEx Revenue in the future when the DevEx features are implemented on the Platforms and in the STUDIO Software as applicable. The launch date for such features will be announced on the Portal. In the meantime, DevEx Revenue will accrue with respect to any Submission UGC Provided [for publication on the Global Platform] prior to the date the Company announces that DevEx features have been launched (“DevEx Revenue Launch Date”). The terms in this Section 10 shall apply only with effect from the DevEx Revenue Launch Date.
Calculation of DevEx Revenue. You may earn a share of the Company’s revenue in connection with the purchase of Your Submission UGC by Users on any Platform (“DevEx Revenue”). DevEx Revenue shall be calculated in accordance with the DevEx Policy.
Disqualified transactions. No DevEx Revenue will be earned in respect of: (a) fraudulent transactions; (b) transactions reversed by the relevant Publisher and/or User; or (c) transactions that contravene the DevEx Policy or are excluded from earning DevEx Revenue under the DevEx Policy. Company’s determination of the existence of such circumstances shall be final and binding.
DevEx Revenue subject to adjustment. The amount of DevEx Revenue earned by You as shown in the Portal or other location as determined by Company represents an estimated balance only, and remains subject to review, adjustment, and confirmation by Company.
Cash Out. You may request payment of earned DevEx Revenue (“Cash Out”) by utilizing the relevant functions in the Portal provided that You meet the conditions set out in the DevEx Policy (“Cash Out Conditions”).
Cash Out initiation and review. Upon receiving the Cash Out request, Company will review the amount of DevEx Revenue earned by You and, in its sole discretion, confirm the amount (as adjusted or otherwise) that should be paid out to You. No DevEx Revenue shall be owing or payable until confirmed by Company following a valid Cash Out request. Company shall only arrange payment of confirmed DevEx Revenue if the Cash Out Conditions have been met. Company may arrange payment of DevEx Revenue through a third party service provider. You may be asked to enter into agreements with a third party service provider of the Company in order to facilitate payment of DevEx Revenue to You. You agree that if You do not enter into these agreements, You may be unable to receive any DevEx Revenue, and deemed to have forfeited any right You may have to such DevEx Revenue.
Additional information required. You agree to provide Company with any additional information required by Company to facilitate and administer the payment of DevEx Revenue. Such information shall be stored in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
Payment. Company shall arrange payment of the confirmed DevEx Revenue in accordance with the DevEx Policy.
Suspended or Inactive Accounts.
Company may (in its sole discretion) deem any account belonging to a Developer be an “Inactive Account” if that account has a non-zero DevEx Revenue balance for 12 months or more without the Developer requesting a Cash Out.
In the event that Your account is suspended for any reason, or becomes an Inactive Account, Company shall have the right to adjust the accumulated balance of DevEx Revenue earned by You to zero and, upon such adjustment such DevEx Revenue shall be deemed forfeit.
Inactive Accounts or suspended accounts may be reactivated at Company’s sole discretion but shall not earn or otherwise accrue any DevEx Revenue. This means that any DevEx Revenue that would have accrued in respect of transactions involving Your Submission UGC between the date on which Your account becomes suspended or an Inactive Account and the date on which it is reactivated by Company will be forfeit.
Group Revenue. If You are a Group Owner, You may Cash Out Group Revenue pursuant to Section 9.3.
